Re: Revisiting old suggestions - Iggy for Granger?

Well Iguodala isn't a guy you can count on much offensively, so we'd be trading our leading scorer for a guy that's best suited as a third or fourth option... but I love what he brings to the table defensively and in transition. I'd do it for the big jump in draft picks, but I'm not sure we'd instantly become much better.

As you mentioned...he brings something else to the table that Granger doesn't. He may not be as much of a scorer as Granger is.....but he's a relentless attacker of the rim, is very capable and willing passer and is far more consistent on the defensive end.

My main reasoning is to simply change the offense by removing a Player that tends to settles for jumpshots for a Player that attacks the basket.

Re: Revisiting old suggestions - Iggy for Granger?

I think that both have similar trade value...but Iggy is owed roughly a total of $3 mil more over the next 2 seasons than Granger is owed....hence the swap of picks.

But at most...if Picks aren't involved...I'd still do a swap. They both bring different things to the table and would change the flow of the offense.

Because I think everyone that knows anything about basketball knows that Iguodala is better at basketball than Granger is. The only thing Granger is better at is shooting and after his showing this past season he may not even be better at that.

Re: Revisiting old suggestions - Iggy for Granger?

Here is a deal that I think would work for three teams in this scenario.

We send Granger, Collison, and Hansborough to LA. LA sends Pau Gasol to Philadelphia, and the Sixers send us Iguadala and a pick.

Re: Revisiting old suggestions - Iggy for Granger?

I think a trade of Iguodala for Granger makes perfect sense for the Pacers. Yes it could be argued that we don't become a better team, but I honestly think we become a different team, especially on the defensive side of the ball. I also think Iggy grabs more rebounds than Granger. Granger's shooting would be missed, but it would result in Paul George getting more shots & overall offensive play, which I think is a good thing. Iggy doesn't need to score, but he can when he wants/is needed too. I'd pull the trigger on this trade, even if it costs me an extra $3mil for a couple of years
